I’ve learned that the most significant factor depending on how I feel is how well I slept the night before. I used to be in the camp that believed that the less sleep I needed, the tougher it made me. This was the sort of culture that was cultivated in med school, internship, and residency. The less you slept, the more time you had to study/work, the tougher you were.

A quick search on PubMed shows that he has 79 publications with the earliest paper from 1980 to the most recent one published this past June 2017.… Read More

Deshun Wang, pictured above is an 80 year old gym going runway model who reminds me of the Chinese version of Mark Sisson. He’s lead a pretty incredible life that took him from being an actor to a pantomime artist to learning how to weight train at the age of 50. And just last year, he added ‘runway model’ to his resume.
